The Best Italian Restaurant Near Boston 🍝

Actually the best meal at Wrentham Outlets! Had to share though it's a bit far - truly exceptional! 📍 Luciano's Restaurant While shopping at Wrentham Outlets, I was starving and initially craved Chinese food, but there were hardly any options nearby. I checked Google Maps and found this spot with the highest ratings - decided to give it a try and was completely blown away!! The ambiance is absolutely perfect! Ideal for dates and celebrations 🎉 🥖 Their complimentary bread is incredible! Two varieties: regular baguette and their homemade garlic bread with a crust so flaky it crumbles at first bite. Paired with a slightly tangy dipping sauce that's both refreshing and appetizing! Combined with the vinaigrette salad - bright and zesty - it totally awakened my appetite. 🍝 Ordered the Penne Alla Vodka - exceptionally delicious. The sauce is rich but not heavy, with perfect balance of ham, garlic, and tomato flavors. One of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. 🥩 Also tried the T-bone steak (medium) - cooked perfectly! Charred outside, juicy inside, bursting with meaty juices. The roasted mushrooms and potatoes were incredibly fragrant, infused with smoky richness - absolutely addictive. 🍷 Later learned they even make their own smoked and cured meats, with an extensive wine selection. The evening atmosphere is absolutely magical! 💁 Service was exceptional. Helped by the sweetest elderly waiter who kept coming over to chat, saying he was bored lol 🤣 When I was removing my colored contacts, he brought a lamp to help me see better 🥹 Wanted to try dessert (their tiramisu looked amazing), but was too full! So stuffed and satisfied haha. The meal came to about $50+ per person, with tip around $70. But totally worth it!!
